Antiwar Radio - Grant F. Smith - 10/25/2010 - 1 of 2

Grant F. Smith, director of the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy in Washington, D.C., discusses former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger's just-declassified 1987 statement (excerpted from a still-classified 46 page declaration of damage) that called for the harsh punishment of pro-Israel spy Jonathan Pollard, how the release of Weinberger's full declaration could substantiate allegations that Pollard's disclosure caused the death of many CIA agents, the story of Israel's 1954 "Lavon Affair" false flag operation in Egypt and how Israel consistently uses inside information to sabotage U.S. foreign relations with other countries.
